Be it known that we, OLE EVENSTAD and OLAUS SENSTAD, subjects of the King oll Norway, and residents of Rasten, in Storelvedalen, Norway, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Making Packing-Shavings, (for which Letters Patent were granted to us in Germany, No.45,685, dated March 21, 1888; Belgium, No. 81,134, dated April 1G, 1888; France, No. 189,523, dated Hay 23, 1888, and Denmark, No. 430, dated June 13, 1888,) ot which the following is a specication.

The invention relates to an improved machine for making narrow shavings for packing purposes from shavings obtained as a waste product in planing-machines; and the invention consists of a machine forworking up the shavings from planing-machines by cutting them into narrow strips, which are to be used for packing purposes, the cutting operation being performed by means of rotating rolls formed ot' a number of disks having beveled edges, the edges of the disks el' one roller being placed against the edges ot the disks ot the other roller, so aste take up and cut longitudinally the shavings, which are conducted to the rolls by suitable conducting and conveying devices 'lor cutting them into narrow strips, and, secondly, by an intermittentlyactuated cutting device below the rolls, by which the length ot' the strip is regulated, adhering parts are separated from the packing-shavings by conducting them into a laterally-inclined reciprocating-screen, which discharges the shavings sidewse ot the machine.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation ot' our improved machine l'or making narrow shavings used l'or packing purposes the upper part being partly in section. Fig. 2 is an end elevation ol' the machine; Fig. il, a top view ot the saine, the conveying parts being removed; and Figs. t and 5 show a detail end view and a top view, partly in sect ion,ol the enti i lig-rolls, drawn on a larger scale..

Similar letters et' rei'ercncc indicate corresponding parts.

Ourimproved machine for cutting up shavings into narrow strips that are used for packing purposes consists, essentially, of two ro tary slitti1ig-rolls,ff, which are supported on a suitable supporting-frame, F, said rolls receiving motion from a suitable belt-and pulley transmission from an overhead driving-shaft. The shavings are conveyed from the planes a of the planing-machine upon an endless belt, l), which is stretched over a driving-pulley, b', and a guide-pulley, b, and from which the shavings are conducted, by means of a downwardly-extending conveyer, d, and the endless belt e, to the slitt-ing-rolls ff. The endless belt e and conveyer (l may bel turned on t-he axisot' the pulley b, so as to be moved out of the way and give convenient access to the planing-knives for regulating the same.

A transverse wall, c, extends across the planer and conveyingbelt b, so as to prevent any chips from the planing-machine being conveyed to the conveying-belt. The conveyer d forms a condnoting-channel, one side of which is 'formed of said endless belt e, which is stretched over the rollers e' e, which latter roller receives motion by-a cross-belt and pulleys from the shaft of one of the slitti 11g-rolls. The conveying-beltb takes up the shavings immediately as they are delivered from the plane and takes them before they have a chance of curling or twistingY into the channel d, retaining them in their positionv until they are delivered to the slitting-rolls ff.' The rolls ff are formed ot a number of disks, f2, having beveled edges, as shown clearly in Figs. 8 and a, the vfaces ol' the disks of one roll being placed in contact witlrthe faces ot the disks ot' the' other roll, soitliat,

when rotating the rolls they produce acutting action on the shavings and cut them longitinlinally into a number oi narrow strips ol' ditlment width, according to the thickness ol' the strips employed. ln this manner narrow strips orshavi ngs are obtained, which arcused as a packing material. rlhe relative position ot' the slitting-rolls ff isadjusted bymeans of screws 7l, which are applied tothe bearings off the rolls f so as to move the same forward or backward in the guide-slots of the suportingframe F, and of a screw, h', which is applied to the bearing of therolls f, so as to adjust I up into strips ol uniform length. The cuttii'ig device consi. 1f, which is attached to a rod, 7i', and guided in lugs l ot' the supportiiig-frame F. Between the lugs l and collars on the rods are inter-- posed spiral springs m, which move the knife 'i in backward direction after the same has been moved Vforward by a small beveled hig, Inl, fixed on an endless chain, o, which is stretched over sprocket-wheels o c. The

lower wheel, o, is adjustable in slots p ofthe ings for packing purposes, the combination of rotary rolls provided with annular beveled i ribs, the faces ot' which are arranged in consupporting-frame F, so as to lengthen or shorten the endless chain o and produce thereby the intermittent action of the lug n on the cutter 1' at longer or shorter intervals, according as longer or shorter strips aredesrei'l. As the plug n passes over theguide-pulleys o', which are located above and below the guideframe of the cutter '5, the rods 7tand the cutter. are pushed torwardthe knife L' engaging a fixed cutter, S, at the lower edge of the hopper g, and cutting oftl thereby the narrow strips or shavings. l he spring' 'nz returnsthe knife to its normal position as soon as the Same is released from the lu g n. At the lower Ypart ot' the supporting-frame F is suspended a coarse screen, t, by chains t, which screen reciprocztted by a connecting-rod, L, oper ated by a shaft which is driven by a belt from oneotl the slitting-rolls. Any small chips or any refuse matter adhering to the narrow strips or shavings pass through the coarse meshes `of the screen 1 and drop below the sam e,while the strips or shavin are conveyed by the in cli ned screen from the machine. The shavings `are then removed and compressed into suitable bales for shipment.. In place ot' constructing the rolls y" f .fronra series of disks having beveled edges, the same may also be made of one piece, with the cuttingrings turned oil' on the saine. The cutting`- edges of the rolls may also be made in any form or shape, provided the faces of the eutting-rin gs are brought closer together and face to face, so as to produce the proper cutting action on the shavings.

l l s ot a horizontal cutter-blade, i

By the machine described the shavings can be worked up into a marketable article-- namely, shavings t'or packin purposes, which can be shipped with greater eolivenience, the

machine lfm-nung a uselul and convenient auxiliary t'or plan ing-machines ,[or the proper utiliza-tion el' shavings made by the same.

llaving thus descrilnd our inventii'm, we claim as new and desire lo secure by YLetters Paten tl. rl`he coinbilnitiou, with rotary slitting rolls 3j ro\'ided with annular beveled ribs, the faces ot' the ribs of one roll being placed in contact with the faces of the ribs ol' the other roll, oit' screws :for adjusting' one of the rolls in longitudinal and the other roll in lateral direction, substantially set forth.

i. In a machine for making narrow shavtact with each other, a hopper below said rolls, and an intermittently-actuated cutting device below the hopper for (,futting oltthe narrow shavings in` the proper lengtl1,.sub stantia'lly as set forth.

In a machine for making narrow shavingsV for packing purposes, the combination, with rotary slittingrriills having annular ribs beveled at the circumference, the faces of the libs ot' one roll beingin contact with the l'aces i ol' the ribs ot the other roll, of ahopper below said rolls, an illterinitteniily-actuated cutting device below said hopper, a-nd an inclined oscillating screen suspended below the cutting device, substantially as set forth.

4. The combination,with a pair of slittingrollers and a planing-machine, of a horizontal conveying-belt located below the cutter ol' the planiiig-machine, and a eonveyer extend ing from said belt to the slitting-rollers, substantially as herein shown and described.

In testimony that we claim the foregoing as our invention we have signed our names in presence ol' two subscribing witnesses.
